Could you elaborate on the tax implications of 
cryptocurrency losses for individuals? Specifically, is it possible to write off such losses on one's tax return? If so, what are the necessary steps and requirements to ensure that these losses are properly accounted for and deducted? Also, are there any limitations or exclusions that might apply to cryptocurrency losses when filing taxes? I'd appreciate a detailed explanation of the tax treatment of cryptocurrency losses in the current tax code.

    In the event of an exchange's bankruptcy, taxpayers may have the opportunity to claim a capital loss on their tax return.
